5. The first person to respond to me was qnr, I remember that. |
|
The only other person I specifically remember noticing to on my first day posting, I think I just made a little mental note to pay attention, having noted that we had something in common. Let's just say that worked. ;)

It was probably either ZombyWoof or one of an unmentionable married couple.

I want you to know I died laughing when I read that.
I really didn't notice what made that post so popular until after it was posted, since I'd only looked at the pic on my postage stamp-sized camera screen. :)

Although, I've never met any in Real Life.
Dwickam, Underground Panther, and a woman who has since been banned.
When I first came to DU, I felt out of place and didn't post for a long time. When I did they made me feel welcome and valuable.
(And look at the monster they created! Bet they're sorry now :) )

The first time I met DUers I spent most of the time hanging out with lionesspriyanka and ThomCat...a troublesome trio was born that day. I met many more DUers that day as well.

For me, it was kephra. I would always go to LBN first, and if I saw his name on a post, I'd read it. Same as for the other forums -- if keph's name was there, I knew it would be a post I'd want to read. I still miss him so much.

18. I can't remember who I saw first, but the first thread I ever replied to |

was one of nostamj's toon threads. Of course that was way back when I mostly hung out in GD under another screen name, and way back when we still had nostamj with us. :cry:
